Beautiful View of Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Lagos
Where Father Borghero (Francesco Borghero) once served as the church’s parish pastor in 1881. From 1861 to 1865, he led the church and had taken up his cross. The Holy Cross Church was constructed and consecrated. The first nuns arrived in Lagos five years after the Fathers arrived. Although they were probably aware of the difficulties and perils they would face in their future life by the coast, they still had to pray fervently in gratitude when they finally set foot on Lagosian soil and realized that their arduous and miserable journey was finally coming to an end. The four sisters arrived in Lagos in March 1873 after leaving Marseilles aboard a sailing boat with three fathers at the beginning of November 1872.The Bone Ladder by Ellen Thorp.
Young Atiku Abubakar with His Wife and Friend
An image from the 1970s showing a teenage former vice president Atiku Abubakar in a Lagos nightclub with his first wife Titilayo and a family friend named Sola Atiku recalled how they used to dance to King Sunny Ade’s music in a 2015 interview. In Lagos at the time, you had to know the movements to be hip. Born into a Christian family, Titilayo Abubakar (née Albert) was raised by the Albert family, a Yoruba family from Ilesa, Osun state. She was born and raised in Lagos, completing her elementary schooling in Lafiaji, Lagos, and her secondary education, which lasted until 1969, at St. Mary’s Iwo, Osun state. She wedded Atiku Abubakar, a youthful customs officer, in 1971 before enrolling in Kaduna Polytechnic.
